The LLB Law and French programme is both challenging and stimulating, enabling you to build the skills required for a career in law or a wide range of professions.
Legal practice increasingly takes place on a global stage, and Cardiff's LLB programmes in law and languages aim to produce lawyers not only fully competent in the law of England and Wales, but also fluent in the chosen language and conversant with the general culture, political institutions and legal system of another country. The Law and French programme is taught in collaboration with the School of Modern Languages. Throughout the programme, in addition to developing high-level language skills, students gain an in-depth intercultural understanding that encompasses a specific knowledge of French cultures allied to the ability to navigate and mediate between more than one culture. Students develop high-level communication and critical-thinking skills, and foster resilience and independence through time spent in immersive foreign language contexts. On completion of this four-year programme, you will have a high level of proficiency in the French language, as well as a critical understanding of key aspects of French history, culture, literature, politics and contemporary society.
